The Riley Green Mayor (RGM)\u00a0is a past master of financial gain from office and he addressed the meeting over lunch. Of course, the discussions were in complete privacy, so no disclosures are expected. The meeting was held in the splendid church of St Mary Magdalene, Willen.<br \/>\nThe Mayor had the chauffeur take some photographs outside the church while the meeting was in progress.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_155\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/rileygreen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Willenchurch-026.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-155\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-155\" src=\"http:\/\/rileygreen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Willenchurch-026-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Letter Box at Willen Church\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rileygreen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Willenchurch-026-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/rileygreen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Willenchurch-026-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-155\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Letter Box at Willen Church<\/p><\/div>\n<p>He noticed a post box in the wall of the churchyard and wanted a picture. The GR in the casting could be our Queen&#8217;s Father, George the Sixth, but may be even\u00a0older. These boxes are particularly valuable and are occasionally stolen. The Mayor has had his eye on the one at Riley Green for some time. (No, not\u00a0in any\u00a0way wishing to steal it, more to protect it from thieves, OK it may require the DIY man removing from the wall,\u00a0and by doing so, protecting it from\u00a0vandals and thieves.)
